My name is David Schwab. I am a Veteran and just starting the process through Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) for naming the portion of Highway 97 that is within the Douglas County Boundaries to “World War II Veterans Memorial Highway”.
A veteran from Klickitat County sponsored a similar request to the WSTC covering US Highway 97 from the Oregon border to the Yakima County line. After the WSTC approved his request he reached out to other Counties Veterans Advisory Boards that had US Highway 97 within their boundary, asking for their help to name US Highway 97 from the Oregon border to the Canadian border, World War II Veterans Memorial Highway.
If you are a resident of Douglas County I would appreciate an email from you noting such and that you support the naming of Highway 97 within the Douglas County borders.
Thank you for your support.

Member of VFW Post 3617, American Legion Post 10, and the Douglas County Veterans Advisory Board

P.S. – I am working with a Veteran from Chelan County to name Highway 97 within the Chelan County borders next.
